Welcome to Widnes Model Centre

We are a family run business which we started in April 2011 and as many of you may know our original shop was just across the road at 49-51 Widnes Road.

We moved into our new premises in June 2015 a much bigger and brighter environment housing a greater selection of models and modelling equipment.

We are Barry and Gill Williams our son Tom the radio control and technical advisor and our adopted son and helper Peter who came as a customer when we initially opened. He began to help us in his spare time assisting customers with his technical knowledge and experience of running and racing RC cars planes and drones. Peter has a wealth of knowledge in electronics and he remains with us as a technical adviser after six and a half years.

Words alone cannot describe the friendly atmosphere of the place. The staff have always made me feel welcome and the staff are always happy to help, no matter how big or small the problem is, but the thing i most of all is their vast range of models to choose from. You cannot beat the widnes model centre.
